National Survivors of Suicide Day is a day of healing for those who have lost someone to suicide. It was created by U.S. Senate resolution in 1999 through the efforts of Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada, who lost his father to suicide.
Every year, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention sponsors an event to provide an opportunity for the survivor community to come together for support, healing, information and empowerment.
Over 275 simultaneous conferences for survivors of suicide loss will take place throughout the U.S. and around the world. These conferences help survivors connect with others who have survived the tragedy of suicide loss, and express and understand the powerful emotions they experience. You can attend a conference in your city or register online to watch a conference on your home computer.
